Porsche PDK and Tiptronic electronic services, ECU cloning assessment and supported lithium battery / BMS diagnosis. Confirm the controller version before supplying a donor.
Transmission control unit cloning, where supported
Programming, coding and replacement-unit setup
Drive-authorization fault assessment
Common enquiries
Used transmission or TCU will not match the vehicle
Gear selection unavailable after a battery problem
Transmission control-unit communication or authorization faults
Porsche gearbox & TCU families
Cloning, renewal, programming and matching are different operations. This catalogue identifies the controller families we can assess; the exact unit and available original data determine the job.

PDK controller identification first
PDK gearbox names cover several controller generations. We check the actual control-unit ID and donor before recommending data transfer.
BEFORE WE BOOK
Send the VIN, TCU label, hardware/software numbers and fault report. The transmission family alone does not confirm service compatibility. Electronic work is assessed separately from internal mechanical repairs.
Program, code and match compatible modules to the vehicle
Common enquiries
Original control unit damaged or not communicating
Replacement ECU fitted but the vehicle will not start
A used donor needs data transfer or matching
Porsche ECU / DME cloning catalogue
Engine-control families for compatible donor-data transfer and replacement assessment. Identify the original and replacement by part number, hardware and software before supplying a unit.
MED17.1.11
Bosch ME / MED applications by ECU identification
SDI, MD1 and MG1 engine controllers require a unit-specific check before a cloning route can be quoted.
Original unit + donor unit
Recoverable original data and compatible donor hardware determine the available route. Some cases require virginizing and adaptation rather than a direct clone.
BEFORE WE BOOK
Send photos of both labels and say whether the original unit still communicates. A donor with a similar casing or connector is not enough to establish compatibility.
Repair or replacement recommendation after assessment
Common enquiries
Battery-management warning or communication fault
Battery electronics need assessment after a protection event
A battery assembly has been recommended for replacement
Assessment before a replacement.
A battery warning does not by itself confirm a failed BMS. The battery condition and relevant vehicle faults need to be checked together.
BEFORE WE BOOK
Send the battery label and diagnostic report first. Cell condition, physical damage and protection-system status determine whether electronic repair is appropriate.
Can you clone every controller with this family name?
No. Hardware, software, immobilizer generation, donor compatibility and readable original data determine the available operation. Send both labels and the scan report.
What is the difference between cloning and virginizing?
Cloning transfers supported original data to a compatible replacement. Virginizing / renewal prepares a supported used unit for a separate matching or personalization process. Programming or coding configures software and vehicle functions.
What should I send for a quote?
The VIN, fault codes, original and donor labels, symptoms and work already completed. Tell us whether the original control unit still communicates.
Controller coverage references
Family listings were checked against manufacturer documentation on 2 November 2026. They identify assessment categories and do not replace a check of the actual unit.
